On trubritar's reviews the 480 won only one test and that was the dx11 heaven tessellation benchmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats 4 GPU's total of 4gig video memory. I changed them because quad fire just does not seem to work. Everywhere I turned and looked for help on that I got nothing but bad news as ATI has yet to come out with drivers that support all 4 GPU's. It seemed that xfire was only working on one card with two GPU's as only one of them got the slightest bit warm as mesured with a Mico temp laser thermonitor. Read that one of these cards were faster than two when put together. I bought two 5870 vaporX cards and they are in crossfire. I asked arround about the 5970's and was told to save my money. The 5970's were just a newer vertion of the 5870's and were not much better. But as always it is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

PCIe is for NOOB HACKS LOL jk How is Windows 7 holding up with compatibility with PCIe cards? I might be upgrading sometime late this summer but don't know if I wanna switch from XP to 7 until its stable and had most of the initial bugs worked out, like all new microsoft software. I remember the days when a motherboard was a motherboard. But now we got all these kick ass games and apps and porn LOL gotta have something to take the strain off the OS and other hardware to perform well. I still don't understand why motherboards are cheaper then video cards though. Guess it's all the uber software they put on the chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
